Jennifer Aniston recently revealed a surprising detail during her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!—she has a Ziploc bag with her late therapist’s ashes, though she kept specifics to herself.
While chatting with Kimmel to promote her picture book, Clydeo Takes a Bite Out of Life, Aniston was playfully quizzed about various tabloid rumors, including a headline that suggested she had a close bond with former President Barack Obama. Aniston confirmed she’s only met him “once,” sharing a laugh about the absurdity of the claim.
The conversation turned when Kimmel asked her to clarify the rumor about having her therapist’s ashes. Aniston responded with a gasp and, after a pause, cleverly suggested, “Can I plead the [Fifth]?” Kimmel pressed on, and she admitted, “It’s a little true,” prompting laughter from the audience.
In the course of the interview, Aniston debunked several other wild claims, including one about installing a pricey water filter for her dogs and being a jujitsu black belt. However, she did admit to having experienced a salmon sperm facial and sharing an awkward nude selfie moment at a sauna.
Regarding a claim that her family asks her to belly dance at gatherings, Aniston humorously explained that it’s not just Christmas Eve but any family occasion. She reminisced about her childhood anxiety performing for relatives, relating it to the pressure on other kids when asked to showcase their talents.
Shifting to her teenage years, Aniston shared a nostalgic story about trying to meet Duran Duran’s lead singer, Simon Le Bon. She remembered camping outside their hotel, roses in hand, only to be turned away after a long wait. “We ended up going home with our sad roses,” she recalled. “They didn’t show up at the hotel later that night either.”
Years later, Aniston fulfilled her dream by interviewing Le Bon for Interview magazine, humorously telling him how he had “destroyed her childhood.”
